Hi guys, interested of treasure hunting in the philippines? Here is the sight 8 3.79'N 126 22.64E and 8 3.46N 126 22.90E. These are old japanese gold mines with possibble mercurize gold inside.
I posted the how to's on this method over a year ago and it was deleted immediately as being unsafe . Yet , it works if you are careful .Jeep said:Funny you should say that P
I still use the potato method, to me it contains the least risk and works great.
I must say that it is getting harder to obtain mercury though
it was a pretty smart guy that figured that amalgamation method out.
Don't eat the potato the leftover potato
Hola ,Amigo !Real de Tayopa said:HI, don't forget to recover the Hg after by panning the mashed up potato. The ability of Hg to be taken up in the human system depends upon many things. Breathing the concentrated fumes isn't considered good behaviour. However, Just handling it isn't considered hazardous. In fact most of the older generation played with it whenever they had a chance, silver plating pennies for example.
Many chomped upon a thermometer too hard and swallowed the Hg with no ill effects.
Kinda makes one wonder, while today, if a mercury thermometer breaks in a house it has to be evacuated and thoroughy cleaned by a professional crew before anyone is allowed back into it ? ??

I think one has to build up their resistance, I take canned tuna but a steak yesterday also.Don,t forget the millions of pounds of dental amalgam in peoples mouths.While not trying to play down mercurys undoubted toxicity,I think it,s been a bit overblown,or else we all were conned as to the safety of all those amalgam fillings.
You can do it in a closed circuit system.no lose.bga78: I do not doubt that you are correct. I encourage you
to seek a share. I expect you understand the danger of mercury
poisoning by retorting. Be safe and I wish you well. I quit
trying to extract gold using mercury when I realized it wasn't
worth the risk. Good health is more precious than gold to me.
Have you heard of the amalgam/potato method of obtaining
gold "buttons"? No method is completely safe for humans or
the environment. I heard recently of someone here who is the
father of a NFL player who spent a few months in Florida. The
delicious seafood was abundant. He ate it every day for two or
three months then fell ill. It was mercury poisoning.
